I gotta disagree. I love Detroit as much as anyone, but really? New Orleans has the French Quarter and Bourbon Street, which Detroit has no match for. New Olreans has like 100 hotels, Detroit has like 5. New Orleans has world famous cuisine, and they have casino's like us. When you think of New Orleans you think of a good time and a party... which is what the NFL wants in a SB host city. Miami is the same way, tons of nightlife, a great beach, a lot of cabs, unlimited things to do, tons of hotels. San Diego has the best weather in the country, has the Gaslamp Quarter, and can handle the increase in visitors way better than Detroit.

I know we all love Detroit, but we aren't a MAJOR city anymore. I see about 3 cabs a day. Where do people stay for the Super Bowl? Windsor? Southfield? How do they get into downtown? A cab that doesn't exist? And what do they do at night? MGM and Motor City have to get old after two nights....
